No one dropped in for a visit until she died last month. They just circled. We saw her and talked to her when she was alive and are now staying away.

The Vultures were out in force, grabbing everything they could in front of my eyes, and being totally disrespectful.

It is so cool to read things about my mom that I never knew. <br />I know you don’t think you deserved her jewelry but I think you did. You were obviously loved very much.

That puts a true love into it and a true meaning. <br />I hope the memorial is a joyful occasion, or as close as can be. I have been thinking about a similar situation we had here ten years ago when a friend died. It poured down rain, cold and nasty, and yet- so very many people showed up from so far away. I will never forget that. It was perfect in a way. Sadness and joy. Darkness and light. Cold and warmth. All of it together, like life and death.
